I was hoping the game would dispatch Yesterday but it looks like I have to wait until Monday.

The title should be Start your N. GIN

Can't wait to play! Good job on throwing up a Discord. Hopefully there's enough of us on Xbox.

I'm quite stoked for this release, but I'm REALLY stoked that there's some Crash Tag Team Racing content in the game as well (I really liked CTTR back in the day, even if it was a little too easy)

I've been spending way too much on games this year, but this is one I have to pick up around launch and recognize a job well done remaking a fantastic game.

The game seems quite difficult so far! Took me a dozen attempts to beat Papu on medium difficulty and the races seem fairly close with me boosting like 75% of the time. Having lots of fun.

I want to play one/some of the other characters, but all the time I spent playing as Cortex on the Papu Pyramid demo disc makes me want to just play as the retro Cortex skin for old times sake.

Review embargo is 9PM PST.

Most likely going to only be the major outlets. YT/Stream influencers got early access to the game by a few days, but not smaller media outlets.

I'm considering changing my amazon order to deliver to work, but im worried they won't come here before I leave so its making me think get it delivered home and see what happens.

I think it's for the best, the weapons are still effective but you don't have an issue with griefing or lag with this approach.

I don't understand how you could possibly say it's for the best. Unless this game works very differently to Mario Kart. Rubbing up against and battling with other karts is part of the fun isn't it?

Summary of the v1.01 datamine:

All of this may be added in the future or cut from the game.

5 new drivers are referenced in the code:
-N. Brio
-Koala Kong
-Komodo Moe
-Fasty
-King Chicken

Grand Prix Seasons are planned to be monthly, with at least 6 GP's planned this year.
Season 4's track is codenamed "T504_october_spooky", suggesting a halloween theme.

The update adds support for a "Sports" level mode with its own score display on the racing HUD. It may be a mode for battle arenas.

There may be community ghosts added in the future judging by Grand Prix challenges involving them.

Hype.

Fasty?! The cut Hippo from the original game?! Beenox fucking rules.

Misconception actually.
He wasn't made for CTR, nor cut from it. Bob Rafei designed it for a friend's company's mascot and accidentally uploaded it with CTR stuff on his website and didn't notice until someone pointed it out. He still never took it down, but gave this quote:

Bob Rafei said:
If I recall correctly Trippo was character design I did for a friend who was developing airfare search engine and was looking for a mascot of sorts, and not part of CTR designs. I should have placed it in another category, but honestly, I've been too busy with BRB projects and family to keep up the site!

So I really hope they cleared it with legal instead of assuming they owned it due to the fan myths! Whoopsiedaisy.

Seems pretty good so far. Switch version actually looks solid docked on a 4k display all things considered. Load times are long though.

Also Sewer Speedway feels off to me in the tunnels. Doesn't feel like you get carried around the tight corners like you used to if you're taking a high line on the inside and get dead stopped a lot more. Collision on the barrel feels different too.

Eager to play tonight, haven't played the original game in at least over a decade.
